Does plastic float on hot water?
This really depends on how dense the plastic is. If it is denser than water, plastic will sink at the bottom. The temperature of the water does not affect whether or not something will float on that liquid.
Is tap water from the sink different from the tap water from the fridge?
If the refrigerator water is filtered, then it would be different from the tap water coming from the sink.
Would 1.0 gml sink float?
yes it would sink because its more dense than water
Which planet would sink in water?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter would all sink in water, since their densities are greater than 1000kg/m3 (which is the density of water).
The density of water is equal to 1.0 g cm3 A substance with density equal to 1.3 g cm3 would?
Sink like a rock. Water has a density of 1.0g per cm3. Anything denser will sink and anything less dense will float, assuming it does not dissolve. Most oils range from 0.8 to 0.9 and will float on water. After the beginning of a rain, you can often find oil floating on the water on the road.

Will plastic float in water?
Some plastics will float in water and others will sink. It depends on the type of plastic and in particular it depends on the density of the plastic material. This property is used as a method for separating the different plastics sent for recycling. Polyethylene and Polypropylene, for example, will float in water while PVC and ABS will sink.

put water in to let it sink... then put air into it to let it float...
Charlie is testing whether thing swim sink or float he put a plastic-foam board in the water predict whether the board will sink or float.explain your reasoning put a plastic-foam?
Water has a density of about 1.0, knowing this you can tell if an object will sink or float by calculating the objects density.
